Conflicting Messages

2 Nephi 2:22-23; “And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end. 23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.”

Israel Jews didn’t Know of Nephites

3 N 15:19-21; “But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that they know not of you.  20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father separated from them; and it is because of their iniquity that they know not of them. 21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

Missionaries

Journal of Discourses 7:227; “We have at times sent men on missions to get rid of them; but they have generally come back. Some think it is an imposition upon the world to send such men among them. But which is best—to keep them here to pollute others, or to send them where pollution is more prevalent?…We have tried to turn the filthy ones out of the flock, but they will not always stay out. A few such defile, to outward appearance, the whole flock; and we have it to bear.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, April 7, 1860

Pride Before the Fall

Discourses of Joseph Smith, pg 355; “There is one God, one Father, one Jesus, one hope of our calling, one baptism. All these three baptisms only make one. Many talk of baptism not being essential to salvation; but this kind of teaching would lay the foundation of their damnation. I have the truth, and am at the defiance of the world to contradict me, if they can.”

Plural Marriage Isn’t True

Journal of Discourses, vol. 21, p. 296; “…the very moment that they are admitted to be true, it brings in plurality of marriage, and if plurality of marriage is not true or in other words, if a man has no divine right to marry two wives or more in this world, the marriage for eternity is not true, and your faith is all vain, and all the sealing ordinances and powers, pertaining to marriages for eternity are vain, worthless, good for nothing; for as sure as one is true the other also must be true. Amen.” – Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, July 18, 1880

Where is God in Your Life?

General Conference, Apr. 2012; “Melchizedek Priesthood holders who are fathers in sealed families have been taught what they must do. There is nothing that has come or will come into your family as important as the sealing blessings. There is nothing more important than honoring the marriage and family covenants you have made or will make in the temples of God.” —President Henry B. Eyring, Families under Covenant

Contending Warmly with Others with Your Fists

Alma 1:22; “Nevertheless, there were many among them who began to be proud, and began to contend warmly with their adversaries, even unto blows; yea, they would smite one another with their fists.”

As you might have guessed I have to post this one. If this whole Book of Mormon thing wasn’t so serious I’d be rolling on the floor in laughter with some of these stupid verses.

Honestly, how do the Mormon people look upon these things and not walk right out the door of Mormonism? How in the world is this inspired?

Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Mother Earth???

Mosiah 2:26; “And I, even I, whom ye call your king, am no better than ye yourselves are; for I am also of the dust. And ye behold that I am old, and am about to yield up this mortal frame to its mother earth.”

Mother Earth?

Really?

This phrase is a personification of nature that God created. It is the focus of thanking Mother Nature (Mother Earth) for her life giving aspects. God said he hates those who worship other gods – Ps. 31:6. 

Why is this in the Book of Mormon?

Spiritual Discernment

What is it and from where does it come?  When people write in asking how they can “get” spiritual discernment my answer is always the same; open your bible and start reading. 

For those who say they don’t have spiritual discernment I have a question for you!  Do you have His Holy Spirit residing inside you? Does He not guide you throughout your day? If so, how does He do this? Name the things He’s shown you in one day and give scriptural proof to back your claim.

Jared’s Language not Confounded

Ether 1:34, 37; “And the brother of Jared being a large and mighty man, and a man highly favored of the Lord, Jared, his brother, said unto him: Cry unto the Lord, that he will not confound us that we may not understand our words. 37 And it came to pass that the brother of Jared did cry unto the Lord, and the Lord had compassion upon their friends and their families also, that they were not confounded.”

Name of Jesus’ Church

For if a church be called in Moses’ name then it be Moses’ church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospel.”
